Thank You for your help so far. resolvconf is installed, Result of "dpkg -s resolvconf" attached below.
I dont have /etc/resolv.conf, but /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head - and ./base. No symlink to run/resolvconf either. It only contains one empty folder, "interface", and one empty file, "postponed-update". Even more puzzling "dpkg -s dnsmasq" says the package is not installed??? So why does disabling it in network manager break the dns lookup then? Maybe the changes in Mint to the Ubuntu system are more profound than I first assumed. I was pretty sure dnsmasq was involved in this error after reading various blog and forum posts and therefore found it relevant to report the error here. I am sorry to waste your time. I did report the error to Mint. Sadly they did not react so far. ** Attachment added: "resolvconf.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1294239/+attachment/4038462/+files/resolvconf.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294239 Title: dnsmasq preventing DNS lookup with firepass sslvpn To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1294239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
